The late music legend Michael Jackson's only daughter, whom he shares with his ex-wife Debbie Rowe, candidly shared her intoxication journey in an Instagram Reel, she posted on Tuesday, January 7th, 2025.

She ended the video with a final message, "To those who helped me on this journey, if only for just the beginning, middle, or the whole time so far, you know who you are and I owe you my life. Thank you. 5 years. THANK GOD."

The 26-year-old songwriter reflected on the coping mechanism she utilised to overcome her addiction to drugs in the caption,noting, "Hi, I’m pk and I’m an alcoholic and a heroin addict. Today marks 5 years clean & sober from all drugs and alcohol. To say that I’m thankful would be a poor euphemism."

She continued, "Gratitude hardly scratches the surface. It’s because I’m sober that I get to smile today. I get to make music. I get to experience the joy of loving my dogs and cat."

Over the past years, the singer-turned-actress has been open about various mental health struggles, including suicide attempts, self-harm, and body image issues.
